On the left, a puppet of a balding man in a white tunic and white dhoti stands with a yellow face and a central control rod. On the right, a pink-faced puppet with black hair, a bare upper body and a red-and-brown lower garment gestures with one raised hand. No physical people are visible; the puppeteers are hidden behind the screen. A small logo appears in the upper left corner.
